How to Prompt AI to Write Better SFMC Queries
Ever asked ChatGPT or Copilot to write an SFMC query and gotten something that looks perfect but breaks when you run it?
The problem is simple: AI tools generate modern SQL syntax that SFMC doesn't support. They'll give you CTEs, variables, STRING_SPLIT functions, and other features that just don't exist in SFMC's limited SQL environment.
The Solution
Train the AI on SFMC's limitations upfront. Copy this prompt and paste it into your conversation before asking for any SFMC queries:
How to Use It
- Copy the prompt above
- Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot
- Ask for your SFMC query
The AI will now generate queries that actually work in SFMC. No more debugging broken syntax or wondering why your perfectly formatted SQL fails to run.
This saves hours of trial and error. Trust me, I've been there.
